So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the
words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4 "(3) With that I heard
a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God
is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they
will be his people. And God himself will be with them.
(4 ) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and
death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry
nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
I am so sorry for your loss. Bennie was a joy to visit with. He was always polite and nice whenever he was at our clinic. He will be missed greatly. Our hearts and prayers are with your family at this very trying time.
sincerely,

Sis Sanders, this song keeps resonating in my mind: "When Heaven Comes Down and Glory Fills My Soul"🎤
Our prayers & thoughts are with you & your family.
Beyond any doubt there will be a giant void space in the Church where he sat, but we also know "that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" and I'm sure there is rejoicing going on!! My wife and I are available if you should need anything.
May God continue to embrace you with "HIS LOVE"ðŸ™ðŸ»
